Human Resource Intern

Job Title: Human Resource Intern
Duration: 6 months
Location: On-Site(Kothrud, Pune)

Be more than just an intern.
We’re not looking for someone to just “support HR.” We’re looking for someone who’s ready to get into the real work of building, shaping, and driving a high-performing team — someone who sees HR not as a department, but as a core lever for solving business problems.
If you believe HR is about more than policies and perks, and that real impact comes from making the right hires, designing lean processes, and keeping people and performance aligned — read on.

About Tangle
We’re a design and technology company crafting connected experiences that empower people and shape a better future.
In the last year, we’ve scaled fast — building new products, growing our creative and technical teams, and winning bigger, more complex work. Now, we’re actively strengthening our business and operations backbone. HR sits right at the heart of that.
This internship is about building the team and structure that powers Tangle’s next stage of growth. You’ll work at the intersection of people, process, and performance — and help shape how a startup finds, hires, and supports talent that actually fits.

What you’ll actually do

• Own the recruitment cycle end-to-end — sourcing, screening, and scheduling
• Understand real hiring needs, not just job descriptions — and shape smarter workforce planning
• Keep our internal systems and HR documentation sharp, accessible, and up to date
• Identify inefficiencies and help us build more scalable, useful people processes
• Work on initiatives around policies, performance, and culture that are tailored to how we actually work
• Challenge mainstream HR assumptions when needed — and design systems that work for a company driven by speed, ownership, and high standards

What we’re looking for

• A background (or strong interest) in HR, Business, Psychology, or People Strategy
• A mind that asks why we do something, not just how
• Strong communication, coordination, and analytical thinking
• Someone who’s ready to break away from traditional HR tropes — and instead use first-principles thinking to solve real issues in hiring, retention, and performance
• A proactive doer who thrives in ambiguity, picks up the slack, and gets things done
• Someone who sees themselves as part of a fast-moving business team — not just the “HR department”

What you’ll get

• Real responsibility from day one — not “helping,” but doing
• A front-row seat to how design and tech teams are built in a growing company
• A rare opportunity to shape the intersection of people and business at an early stage
• Mentorship, fast feedback loops, and a culture that rewards initiative
• A place where your ideas won’t just be heard — they’ll be tested, refined, and rolled out

Before you hit apply

• Make sure your resume reflects your curiosity and drive
• Read up on Tangle — our work, our culture, and how we operate
• Come with energy, hunger, and ideas. We value ownership over assignment, and people who think like builders over rule-followers

Sound like something you’d thrive in? Let’s talk.
